velocity locations of the test disks. The erosion resistance of the material
was determined by the test time required to perforate the coating material
to the substrate of the disk at these locations. With but three exceptions,
the tests were concluded 1-2/3 hours after observing initial coating perfora-
tion, in order to allo' the slower occurring erosion damage at the 125 fps
locations to progress to perceptable levels. Of the three exceptions, two
were the uncoated control disks which were tested until the GRP material at
the 150 fps locations had been perforated. The third disk, coated with glass-
flake resin, experienced coating perforation at the 125 fps location after
only 1/4 hour of testing.
3. RESULTS
a. Erosion behavior at 150 fps. Table 2 groups the coatings into three
categories, according to relative cavitation erosion resistance (test time
to perforate at 150 fps). Materials are listed in alphabetical order within
each category. Category A includes the coating material which showed the
longest test time and highest erosion resistance in the tests. Category B
lists materials showing intermediate erosion resistance. Category C lists
materials showing law cavitation erosion resistance.
b. Erosion behavior at 125 fps. It is to be noted that optimum erosion
resistance (zero erosion) at 125 fps after periods of 7 hours or more total
test time was shown by the Adiprene L-100 coating (XH 438) and the neoprene
coating (N)o All the other coatings and bare GRP disks showed erosion
damage at 125 fps in less than 5-2/3 hours of total test time.
